The Inspiring Story Behind Starting Butterfly Literacy & Publishing
When Dr. LaJoie was a young student, a teacher’s words changed her life—but not in the way you might expect. She was told she wasn’t a good writer, and worse, she wasn’t given the chance to improve. Those words left a deep scar, shaking her confidence and making her feel that she couldn’t achieve her full potential. Instead of accepting those words as truth, Dr. LaJoie made a decision to prove that teacher wrong. She began practicing her writing, refining her skills, and slowly rebuilding her confidence. Over time, her determination blossomed into mastery. Dr. LaJoie's journey took her further than she ever dreamed. She became:
-
A debate coach, inspiring students to articulate and defend their ideas.
-
A poetry judge and writing contest judge, recognizing and celebrating the creativity of others.
-
A contributor to reading comprehension and writing assessments, shaping tools to help students succeed.
-
The recipient of four advanced degrees, a testament to her commitment to learning.
-
With over 25 years of teaching experience, Dr. LaJoie has dedicated her life to transforming education. Her passion for reading comprehension and writing stems from her belief that every child deserves the opportunity to soar—an opportunity she once fought to create for herself.
At Butterfly Literacy & Publishing, Dr. LaJoie works tirelessly to provide children with the support and guidance they need to reach their potential. She understands firsthand the impact that words and encouragement can have on a child’s future.
